Assistance in setting up Linux workstation

Other Jobs To Apply

I have bought last year a computer, to combine with other parts that I already own, and was planning to install on it a Linux OS.

New computer:

- CPU: Intel Core i5 14600

- Motherboard: ASUS prime B760 plus

- RAM: 16GB

- SSD drive 512GB

Pre-Own parts:

- GPU: NVidia GTX 1080TI

- HD drive 8TB

- HD drive 2TB

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Noble Numbat

However I am not very well versed in sysadmin and didn't managed to build and install properly the system, and I have now the following issues:

Main OS issues:

- Only 1 out of my 2 screens is functioning. When I open the system app, I can see that my graphic card is marked as LLVMPipe. Which leds me to believe that my nvidia graphic card and/or driver is not properly installed

- The SSD drive i understand is useful to speed up startup process. But it seems that the OS has not been properly install between it and my 8TB hardrive, as now i often receive alerts that it is almost full. My downloads end up by default on the SSD and i constantly need to copy paste them on the 8TB drive.

- my second hardrive (2TB) does not seem to auto mount at start. It does show in the file explorer, however symlinks to it appear broken before i actually navigate to it using the file explorer

- At start up, and after the system has booted, I see a screen that asked me to choose between various OSes (see photo) - this is because I used to have linux installed on some of those older hardrives - but I would like to streamline the boot and not have that screen now.

I would also lke to solve in the same go the following minor software issue:

- I have tried to install Obsidian but somehow i find it hard to install it properly. Now the only way it starts is by going to the command line and stating it with ./Obsidian --no-sandbox

Lastly, and to keep in mind if the system needs to be reinstalled, I have a personal programming project that uses postgresql. It should be made sure that it still works.
